Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just want to a new car. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm strong and.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Getty, one more thing before we get to that. And
oddly enough, as we record this in the studio, I'm
looking up the TV and the price is right, Price
is right with Drew Carrey has just begun. That's what
we're about to talk about. You want a new car.
What's what's it like when you win a new car
(00:24):
and the price is right? Get to that in just
a second. First, this though, This is that a Starbucks
some dude gets into an argument with the employees or
something over that new very popular Starbucks bear cup.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Let's bear resta? Is that what it's called?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
The bear?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That's kind of a play on words. So it looks
like the bear from the when you used to get
honey in a little bear and you squeeze it out
of his head. But it's some sort of Starbucks cup
or mug or what comes in it?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Coffee? The cup?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, I would think like an iced coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't drink hot coffee. Burn your hands on
that anyway. So somebody cut in line, and then here's
how it went. But what I'm saying is that you
were not in line. With the rest of the guys.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's not I was in I was in line from
five thirty.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Show me the cameras.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Please can't show you the camera, but you can.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You're claiming something I can't show you the You can
though I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Why not I cannot show you that? So go look
at the cameras. Tell me if I was in line
or not.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm going to ask you to leave anymore for you. There.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
She took it to the back.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
They refusing to give me the there you want to
wait even so, you're not gonna You're not going to
serve me.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're not going to sell there.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So he cut in front of everybody to get this
stupid bear cup.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, and I will say that clip was about six
minutes long. He just went back in force.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
With this woman.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
What do he look like? How old was he?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was he's the one shooting the video and he
posted it, which tells you even.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
More about this person.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Okay, so I didn't see what he looked like, but
I mean, he was just it was all this. He
was repeating himself.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Show me the camera. Oh, you're not going to sell
the bear.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And it's no country for old men because I've reached
a point in my life where I just can't deal
with humanity anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Somebody needs to kin bone him, docs him, figure out
who he is, and then for a period of one week,
everyone in America who passes him should throw coffee in
his face.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Exactly, let's figure out who this guy is, what kind
of weird PORNI likes, and mock him going forward and.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Again her al hot beverages upon him. That is him
or that's parody. I do not suggest that in any circumstance.
Oh my god, humanity is hard to take some time. Yeah,
you know, it's funny. I was thinking about No Country
for Old Men as I was getting ready to come
back to work and get it on. Just some of
the you know, some of the aspects of what we
(02:42):
talk about are just so annoying, Like you know, the Internet,
he stuff like that, and just somebody posts something, somebody
claps back, some non journalist creates some idiot story out
of it that nobody should read, and.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's like, eh, tell you what, I am enjoyed the
hell out of living what we both have suggested over
and over again, make your life about the actual human
beings you contact to whatever extent possible.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
You know that sort of thrice removed. You saw something
posted online, or you're reading an internet argument or something
like that. Ugh, no, No, wander down the street, say
hey to your neighbor, even a person at the store
who you interact with when you're trying to cut in
line and grab a stupid bear cup.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
At least that's the real world. But then he goes
and posts it online. I'm back to throwing coffee in
his face.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Are we or are we not moving toward more people
who are alone in an apartment without friends or kids. Yeah,
so the world interaction is this way, Yes, Michael, i'd
disagree with you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Well, they will be miserable and unhappy and all.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Right, but it's going to lead to more people paying
attention to more of this sort of crap just so
they have something to talk about because they don't have
anything going on in their real lives.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah. By the way, uh, a semi related topic.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
While a planet of the apes would be infinitely entertaining
according to the movies I've seen, and I like the
idea of a planet of the beavers, I think honestly,
I was taking a walk with the dog. It's going
to be a planet of the ants. They're everywhere, there
are zillions of them. You can't kill them. What's what's
(04:29):
what do they say about the honey badger? Honey badger,
don't give a f or whatever it is? Well, you
want to talk about something that doesn't give an f
Ants ants are fine. They just do their job. The
ants don't get pissed off at social media.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
They just build their little hills. Planet of the ants.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
We should start saying, fine, let the AI take over,
because that's that's what's gonna take over. And maybe mankind
had their run and we didn't do a good job
and we should be taken over. Maybe yeah, well it
lasted okay. And then finally this before we get out
of here. We've talked about this before this interviews some
people who actually have dealt with it. When you win
(05:11):
a prize on a game show, you immediately get hit
with a bill because most game almost all game shows
are recorded in California, so you got to deal with
California taxes. It's a brand new car on the prices right,
which is on television right in front of me. According
to past participants, when you win the car, immediately they
give you a form to sign and you have to
cut a check for the taxes on the car before
(05:35):
you can get the car. Wow, And it could be
a good chunk of money. And a lot of people
that are participants on those shows. Because you're this sort
of person that can stand in line for hours to
try to get on a stupid game show.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You might not be the most well to do person
to start with. You don't have.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Two to twenty thousand dollars to cut as a check
to pick up your new r V, and so you
just can't and riot a lot of people. I wouldn't
be surprised if it's not the majority. Just work out
some sort of deal. The overall package is this, you
give me this much and you get to keep.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
The rest and then they leave.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
That's what my friend.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Did You have a friend who did that?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, they won.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
A contest in one of my three or four items
and they ended up keeping like two and then selling
the rest or Yeah, because they couldn't afford the taxes
on them.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, I don't think it is your top two
percent of taxpayers that's on the price, is right. I mean,
I'm picturing you know, Jim Jones, come on down, He's
jumping up and down.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Doing the cheerleader thing.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Tell us about yourself, Jim, Well, I'm the CEO of
America Care Hospitals. We've got seventy five facilities in four
different states.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, it seems unlikely.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But even if you're even if I could afford it,
I'm on. The price is right, and they announced you
just want a new RV. Now you need to cut
us a check for twenty thousand dollars. I think, well,
I wasn't planning on buying an RV. I really want
an RV. I gotta cut your check for twenty thousand dollars.
Then I've got an RV and I've got to try
to sell it. I guess and come out ahead. But
(07:08):
doesn't seem like a prize.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know if I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, right, I was thinking of a car, and theoretically,
you know, if you didn't have the cash on hand,
you might be able to borrow the money to pay
the taxes, then sell your car and pay.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
The people back. But that's a pain.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In the ass.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Mention, your insurance costs are probably going to be two
and a half times what they were on your old
crab heap got.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
The more I think about it, the more pain in
the asster is involved. So I went a car. I
got to cut you a check for the car, and
then it says here you pick it up at the
local dealer.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So now I'm in California on vacation, went to the
price is right. I got to get back to Ohio.
I got this car here? Am I gonna have it transported?
Am I gonna drive it? I had a flight ray.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Just what the hell?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's all a pain in the ass, every bit of it.
It'd be hard to come out ahead. I can see
how you would end up in a situation where you're
sitting there with your and your wife thinking, let them
cut us a check for eight thousand dollars and we'll
go home.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I wonder if those shows like bank on that. I'm
sure they aren't going to pay for this.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What a lot of the stuff. And you just got
a pair of jet skis? You think I don't jet ski?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
What?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Am I gonna cut you a check for three thousand
dollars for a couple of jet skis that I gotta
somehow get from Beverly Hills to Burbank to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What the hell a new living room set?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Wow? Cool?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Great?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Um?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
All right, like, get it in my house?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
How do I get the couch from Burbank to Ohio?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Right, it's a twenty four hundred dollars set. The shipping
will be fifteen thousand dollars. Or we can pay you
five hundred bucks to get the hell out of here
and shut up, Drew, carry your smile, hides your lies.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's funny that those shows have lasted all these years
with that reality where everybody gets all said, Oh, wouldn't
that be amazing? A washer dryer set? A washer dryer
two two and ten miles from where I live? What
am I gonna do with that?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
We need the contestants to speak live on the air
and say, look, I can't use this.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know exactly?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, somebody should say more often, so what are the
taxes going to be on that? That's why one of
the reasons mister Beast got so popular. Whenever he gives
you a prize, he pays the taxes, and and or
if it's a physical item, he gets it to your home.
You win a car, he pays the taxes. And he
makes sure it shows up in your driveway. It's not
the scam that Drew Carrey, who's clearly on ozembic does ACD.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
By name, but gentleman by nature, mister beast, yes, kiddy.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
According to the Internet, they have an NDA for the
price is right, so they can't talk about it. Because
I was just thinking, why don't we hear more about that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like, you screw this.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You're right, that's what it is. So they make you
sign an NDA to play it all, and you think,
what do I care? I don't care. I'm not going
to disclose anything. I get to run up there and
jump up and down because I just want a new
high tub that I'm gonna ship to my home. Yeah,
otherwise you'd hear all the time. Nobody, by the way,
nobody gets these prizes. Nobody's claimed a prize the last
(10:10):
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
We just catch it kind of a check that wouldn't
impress everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you leave, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So here's a really controversial question about the game shows.
So I was thinking, I don't know why, but my
mind went to the hotties that you know, show you
the prize package and smile and wear the little costumes
down again, and there have been a couple of harassment
scandals through the years that the host, the big powerful host,
the face of the program, has got a little forward
(10:40):
with the girls, if you I mean, because they have
no skills other than being physically attractive and hot girls
are a diamond dozen if you were to advertise, must
be willing to put up with sexual harassment, not assault, certainly,
sure or anything like that. But the host will regularly
(11:03):
ask you if you'd like to go.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Out sometime.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
In a libertarian from a libertarian point of view, shouldn't
that be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay? Absolutely, made expressly clear to them.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Absolutely, and it was more or less expressly clear up
until twenty years ago. Probably this is what you're gonna
have to put up with, and you'd get more people
signing up for that than you could take.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
By the way, the host is a generous man. He absolutely,
he's a nice enough fella. He's just a horn dog.
And you know, if you do get together with him,
he'll probably lavish expensive gifts on you and you can
say no, but if he gets tired of it, it's
probably gonna be over just you know, going in.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, So I'm looking up this girl's jumping up and down.
She just won like a dune buggy and some ATV
sort of thing. So like, Okay, I live in suburban Cincinnati.
What am I going to do with this ATV and
a dune buggy? And I got to transport it back
after I cut you a check for several thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Surely they connect you with a local dealer, a local
doune buggy dealer. Oh cool, a dune buggy. Just what
I needed, hey for when I'm on the dunes.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But only after i'd write you a check for three
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay, yeah, you're not jumping up and down like you
were before. What's the problem.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
All these years we thought the price is right, the
price is wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Well, I guess that's it.
You just want to a new car. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm strong and.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Getty, one more thing before we get to that. And
oddly enough, as we record this in the studio, I'm
looking up the TV and the price is right, Price
is right with Drew Carrey has just begun. That's what
we're about to talk about. You want a new car.
What's what's it like when you win a new car
(00:24):
and the price is right? Get to that in just
a second. First, this though, This is that a Starbucks
some dude gets into an argument with the employees or
something over that new very popular Starbucks bear cup.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Let's bear resta? Is that what it's called?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
The bear?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That's kind of a play on words. So it looks
like the bear from the when you used to get
honey in a little bear and you squeeze it out
of his head. But it's some sort of Starbucks cup
or mug or what comes in it?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Coffee? The cup?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, I would think like an iced coffee.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't drink hot coffee. Burn your hands on
that anyway. So somebody cut in line, and then here's
how it went. But what I'm saying is that you
were not in line. With the rest of the guys.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It's not I was in I was in line from
five thirty.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Show me the cameras.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Please can't show you the camera, but you can.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You're claiming something I can't show you the You can
though I can't.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Why not I cannot show you that? So go look
at the cameras. Tell me if I was in line
or not.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I'm going to ask you to leave anymore for you. There.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
She took it to the back.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
They refusing to give me the there you want to
wait even so, you're not gonna You're not going to
serve me.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're not going to sell there.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So he cut in front of everybody to get this
stupid bear cup.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, and I will say that clip was about six
minutes long. He just went back in force.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
With this woman.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
What do he look like? How old was he?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It was he's the one shooting the video and he
posted it, which tells you even.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
More about this person.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Okay, so I didn't see what he looked like, but
I mean, he was just it was all this. He
was repeating himself.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Show me the camera. Oh, you're not going to sell
the bear.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And it's no country for old men because I've reached
a point in my life where I just can't deal
with humanity anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Somebody needs to kin bone him, docs him, figure out
who he is, and then for a period of one week,
everyone in America who passes him should throw coffee in
his face.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Exactly, let's figure out who this guy is, what kind
of weird PORNI likes, and mock him going forward and.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Again her al hot beverages upon him. That is him

Oh my god, humanity is hard to take some time. Yeah,
you know, it's funny. I was thinking about No Country

Speaker 1 (06:13):
The rest and then they leave.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
That's what my friend.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Did You have a friend who did that?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, they won.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
A contest in one of my three or four items
and they ended up keeping like two and then selling

(07:08):
doesn't seem like a prize.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know if I want to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Well, right, I was thinking of a car, and theoretically,
you know, if you didn't have the cash on hand,
you might be able to borrow the money to pay
the taxes, then sell your car and pay.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
The people back. But that's a pain.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In the ass.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Mention, your insurance costs are probably going to be two
and a half times what they were on your old

Speaker 3 (07:29):

got to cut you a check for the car, and
then it says here you pick it up at the
local dealer.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So now I'm in California on vacation, went to the
price is right. I got to get back to Ohio.
I got this car here? Am I gonna have it transported?
Am I gonna drive it? I had a flight ray.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Just what the hell?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's all a pain in the ass, every bit of it.
It'd be hard to come out ahead. I can see
how you would end up in a situation where you're
sitting there with your and your wife thinking, let them
cut us a check for eight thousand dollars and we'll
go home.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I wonder if those shows like bank on that. I'm
sure they aren't going to pay for this.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What a lot of the stuff. And you just got
a pair of jet skis? You think I don't jet ski?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
What?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Am I gonna cut you a check for three thousand
dollars for a couple of jet skis that I gotta
somehow get from Beverly Hills to Burbank to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
What the hell a new living room set?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Wow? Cool?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Great?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Um?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
All right, like, get it in my house?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
How do I get the couch from Burbank to Ohio?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Right, it's a twenty four hundred dollars set. The shipping
will be fifteen thousand dollars. Or we can pay you
five hundred bucks to get the hell out of here
and shut up, Drew, carry your smile, hides your lies.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's funny that those shows have lasted all these years
with that reality where everybody gets all said, Oh, wouldn't
that be amazing? A washer dryer set? A washer dryer
two two and ten miles from where I live? What
am I gonna do with that?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
We need the contestants to speak live on the air
and say, look, I can't use this.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know exactly?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, somebody should say more often, so what are the
taxes going to be on that? That's why one of
the reasons mister Beast got so popular. Whenever he gives
you a prize, he pays the taxes, and and or
if it's a physical item, he gets it to your home.
You win a car, he pays the taxes. And he
makes sure it shows up in your driveway. It's not
the scam that Drew Carrey, who's clearly on ozembic does ACD.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
By name, but gentleman by nature, mister beast, yes, kiddy.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
According to the Internet, they have an NDA for the
price is right, so they can't talk about it. Because
I was just thinking, why don't we hear more about that?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like, you screw this.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You're right, that's what it is. So they make you
sign an NDA to play it all, and you think,
what do I care? I don't care. I'm not going
to disclose anything. I get to run up there and
jump up and down because I just want a new
high tub that I'm gonna ship to my home. Yeah,
otherwise you'd hear all the time. Nobody, by the way,
nobody gets these prizes. Nobody's claimed a prize the last
(10:10):
fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
We just catch it kind of a check that wouldn't
impress everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you leave, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So here's a really controversial question about the game shows.
So I was thinking, I don't know why, but my
mind went to the hotties that you know, show you
the prize package and smile and wear the little costumes
down again, and there have been a couple of harassment
scandals through the years that the host, the big powerful host,
the face of the program, has got a little forward
(10:40):
with the girls, if you I mean, because they have
no skills other than being physically attractive and hot girls
are a diamond dozen if you were to advertise, must
be willing to put up with sexual harassment, not assault, certainly,
sure or anything like that. But the host will regularly
(11:03):
ask you if you'd like to go.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Out sometime.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
In a libertarian from a libertarian point of view, shouldn't
that be?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay? Absolutely, made expressly clear to them.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Absolutely, and it was more or less expressly clear up
until twenty years ago. Probably this is what you're gonna
have to put up with, and you'd get more people
signing up for that than you could take.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
By the way, the host is a generous man. He absolutely,
he's a nice enough fella. He's just a horn dog.
And you know, if you do get together with him,
he'll probably lavish expensive gifts on you and you can
say no, but if he gets tired of it, it's
probably gonna be over just you know, going in.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Okay, So I'm looking up this girl's jumping up and down.
She just won like a dune buggy and some ATV
sort of thing. So like, Okay, I live in suburban Cincinnati.
What am I going to do with this ATV and
a dune buggy? And I got to transport it back
after I cut you a check for several thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Surely they connect you with a local dealer, a local
doune buggy dealer. Oh cool, a dune buggy. Just what
I needed, hey for when I'm on the dunes.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But only after i'd write you a check for three
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay, yeah, you're not jumping up and down like you
were before. What's the problem.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
All these years we thought the price is right, the
price is wrong.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Well, I guess that's it.
